Ok so at this very moment we can neither confirm nor deny the wild rumors that some of the worlds best XDL Motorcycle Stunt riders have been invited to ride in some fashion at X Games 16 in Los Angeles at the LA Coliseum. While we do know that Streetbike Stuntriders have considered riding at the X Games a somewhat unobtainable goal over the past 10-12 years of organized competitions. The XDL Series has helped to elevate the level of professionalism of Sportbike Freestyle Athletes and the competitions that they ride in. Our fingers are crossed, we hear that there are last minute discussions going on with management on both sides.

We understand that it is still undecided, but with X Games 16 being only 1 month away, we wanted to remind you all (and maybe some new fans) exactly what stuntriding has going for it.

• Standardized TV ready competition formats.
• Athletes from all walks of life with very different personalities that appeal to different people.
• Experience riding at large action sports and other venues – Supercross, Vans Warped Tour, Monster Jam, WSBK, Moto GP etc.
• Acceptance from core Action Sports fans and the ability to draw in new non-traditional X-Games fans.
• Support from major mainstream companies that would love to see their athletes on the X Games Stage: Red Bull, Kawasaki, BMW, Aprilia, Monster Energy, Yamaha, Warrior Wear, Alpinestars, Geico, Shift, ICON/Parts Unlimited, Joe Rocket, Dunlop, Famous Stars and Straps, Speed and Strength. K&N Filters, Arai, Scorpion and many more.
• No backflip?? how about 160 db rev-limiters and smokey burnouts?? No handed Wheelies, Crazy high flying acrobatics, Drifting and Sick, Sick wrecks!!!

here is a fun little clip of some of the guys as they visited X-Games 15 and caused a little chaos..  “What’s the point of going through life and never breaking any rules?”  as was said by an unnamed rider “We don’t want to make anyone’s jobs harder, we just want to ride our bikes, tear some shit up and put on one helluva show!”

Hit up the people at X-Games on Twitter or Facebook and ask them what they think..  www.twitter.com/xgames – http://www.facebook.com/XGames
